Atheism is Patent Dogmatism

According to atheist philosophy everything comes out of nothing. But there is not one shred of empirical evidence to confirm that it is possible for anything to come out of nothing. Therefore, it is patent dogmatism. To the contrary all empirical evidence establishes just the opposite principle. Everything we experience comes from something, which comes from something, which comes from something, back, back, back to that original something from which everything has come. So we can logically, scientifically understand that existence, therefore, must also have a source. It is not sourceless as the atheists loudly proclaim. What is the nature of that source can be analyzed later, but through simple logic we can deduce the dogmatic absurdity of atheistic philosophy.

Question: How Close to Get to Your Guru?

Should one try to get personal with his guru, or should he remain distant? What does the guru like?

Answer: As Close as You Can

Personally I would sit as closely to Srila Prabhupada as I could whenever he gave a lecture. In this connection the word "Upanishad" (as in the 108 Upanishads) is very significant. It is literally "upa-ni-sat" which means "sit closely" and refers to the disciple sitting closely beside his guru in order to receive transcendental Vedic wisdom. So the disciple should always try to get as close to his spiritual master as he possibly can to serve him with love and to inquire from him. The spiritual master will then allow him whatever degree of closeness is appropriate at his current level of Krishna consciousness. He gives more closeness to those who are more advanced and is also naturally very kind to those who are sincerely seeking his merciful guidance.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But

Who is this Krishna?

Image
Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
